Application February 25, 1939, Serial No. 258,433

2 Claims.

This invention pertains to ticket or card holders particularly adapted for holding price tickets and mounting or applying them to containers such as cans or bottles.

Another feature of the invention consists in the provision of means for showing or applying advertising matter such as the name of a manufacturer, to the holder so that it will be displayed whenever the holder is used.

The objects of this invention are to provide a `simple and efficient device for the purposes set forth which may be made at a low cost whereby it will be adapted for use as a' premium article; to provide a device of the character set forth which may be readily attached to and detached from containers; and to provide such other improvements in construction and advantages in use as will appear from the following description.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating this invention,

Figure 1 is a front view of the holder indicating the same as applied to a can shown in dotted lines and also showing a price card in dotted lines;

Figure 2 is a side view of the same with the holder shown adjusted to different positions;

Figure 3 is a front view showing a modified form;

Figure 4 is a front view showing a further modification;

Figure 5 is a rear view of the device shown in Figure 4;

Figure 6 is a side view of the same; and

Figure 7 is a plan view of the form shown in Figure 4.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2 the holder comprises a clamp or band I which is shaped to conform to or be attachedto an article such as a can indicated at Il. The clamp or fastening member I0 is preferably made of resilient metal and is somewhat more than a semi-circle with the ends I2 turned outwardly so that it may be readily slipped over a can and will hold securely in position. A stem I3 preferably formed of easily bendable metal is fastened to the flat strip at I4 as by spot-welding and supports the card holder I which is preferably formed of wire bent to the form shown and spot-welded or otherwise secured at I6 to the stem.

While the card receiving member l5 may be made in various forms it is preferably made as shown, having the general configuration of the letter M with the ends extending upwardly and forming loops for receiving a card I1. A plate I8 for receiving advertising matter is secured to member I5 and may have a manufacturers name or the like applied directly thereto or it may be made as shown in channel form for receiving a card as indicated at I9 which may be clamped securely therein by compressing the edges of the plate.

When the device is to be used the clamp or band I0 is pressed over a can and the stem I3 will usually be arranged to extend up and forwardly to prominently display the price card or it may be bentto the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 2 or in any other desired position within the range of its adjustment or bendability.

For this purpose, the stem I3, as shown in Figs. 1 and' 2, is preferably made sufficiently long so that the card holder may be bent or twisted in order to present the card in a large variety of positions with respect to the can, bottle, or other article to which it is applied. For instance, the stem may be twisted to present the card holder at substantially degrees to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2 or so that it would be in view at the side of the can instead of in front of it. The stem may also be bent to show the card above or at the back of the can or at any other position desired within the range of the stem and associated parts.

In the modication shownin Figure 3 the card receiving member 20 is secured directly to a clamp or band 2| and any adjustability is dependent upon bending of the wire branches of said member.

The form shown in the remaining figures comprises a clamp or band 22 which is shaped for engagement with the neck of a bottle with a plate or channel 23 secured directly thereto as by spotwelding. 'I'he card receiving element 24 is in turn spot-welded or otherwise fastened directly to the plate 23 as shown. The use or operation of this form will be evident to those familiar with such devices.

While I have shown preferred forms of my invention as embodied in devices in commercial use, it is apparent that changes may be made in the form or arrangement of the parts in order to adapt the same to different containers, different cards, or the like, and therefore I do not wish to be limited to the particular form shown except as specified in the followingclaims, in which I claim:

1. A combined ticket holderl and advertising device comprising a band of resilient material adapted to clamp on a container, a stem formed the Center and D portions of the card receiving 55 of readily bendable metal having one end secured to the band, a card receiving element fastened to the opposite end of the stem, and a plate on said element for receiving advertising matter or the like, the arrangement being such that the card receiving element and plate may be presented at a large variety of positions with respect to the container.

2. A combined ticket holder and advertising device comprising a clamp member adapted to be detachably engaged with a container or the like, a long pliant, bendable stem having one end secured to the clamp member, a ticket holder sel0 the clamp is attached.
